The switch tease was with GPC 3, but that was a switch issue and that GPC was reloaded and is good.

Not ready for auto antennas yet, so CapCom Shannon Lucid asking to switch to lower left forward antenna (S-band, I believe).

I think that call gives the antenna switching back to the GPCs.
Polled the room and the crew can go back to sleep...asking about wake up...about 5 hours and 40 minutes from scheduled wake up.
Getting an extra 30 minutes.

Brandi with the updated crew wake up time...was 11:29 pm Central, now 11:59 pm.
Official crew sleep time was 3:29 pm Central, so the GPC failure with resultant master alarm occurred about 90 minutes into their sleep period.

The closing scene in the flight day highlights is video showing Typhoon Ma-on, which is currently headed toward Japan.
[edit to add]
Ma-on is now a major typhoon; category 3. Landfall is forecasted to be while Ma-on is weakening, but still a major typhoon.

And ditto on the thanks to Targeteer for catching that!
